Chapter 712: Captured Alive
The sound of killing shook the sky, the sword light and candle shadows, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Jia Qing stood in front of his big tent and watched the killing in the distance from afar.
The closest to Jia Qing was the dozens of guards, the palace maids and eunuchs who fled here in fear. One by one, their faces turned blue with frightened faces, and they gathered around the tent they thought was safe.
Tick tock......
Zhao Donglai and Wu Yu strode over, and the blood dripping from Wu Yu's majestic armor to the ground was particularly terrifying in the cold night.
"General Qiyu Jia, except for the hundreds of people who were captured, the rest of the people have been killed."
"What about our casualties?"
"It's still being counted."
Jia Qing nodded.
"Hurry up, don't grind!"
The soldiers of the Forbidden Army escorted Soraya and several of her maids over in a rude manner.
Perhaps she had never been treated like this, Princess Soraya looked sadly at the group of cupboarders in front of her with sadness and tears on her face.
"Why are you doing this......
Her voice, as soft as ever, is beautiful.
Seeing her like this, Jia Qing couldn't bear to cross his heart at all. But her face was not obvious, she walked down the wooden steps indifferently, raised her chin and said, "You are not Princess Soraya, are you?" β
"You, how do you know ......?"
Soraya, oh, it should be the impostor princess who is very alarmed.
The corners of Jia Qing's mouth lifted.
He had been thinking just now, if all this was a conspiracy, would Peter the Great of Russia be willing to send his palm pearl to Dachu?
I didn't expect this fake princess to be so unscrupulous, and she was exposed when she tried it.
"It's too much of a deception! It's too deceitful~! β
Ren Da, who was hiding in the tent just now, had already come out at this time, and just happened to hear it, and immediately scolded.
Russia deceived people too much, and the entire Great Chu court has been preparing for this peace for more than two months, and has used such high etiquette to make a big fanfare, and has come all the way to welcome the kiss, but the other party actually used a fake princess to prevaricate......
This is a blatant humiliation of Da Chu!
As one of the rites, Ren Da was momentarily ashamed, or to show his "courage", he pulled out the saber on the guard's waist, and came down angrily, raising the knife to kill the woman who humiliated Da Chu.
Jia Qing looked at it coldly, and didn't seem to have any intention of stopping it at all.
Zhao Donglai waited for Jia Qing to see that he didn't speak, and he didn't make a sound.
β&@?? ^O^&β¦β¦β
Just when the fake princess was so frightened that she closed her eyes and waited for death, one of the maids beside her grunted and screamed, looking very anxious.
"Wait!"
Jia Qing grabbed Ren Da's wrist at the last moment and said, "Let's listen to what she said first." β
I accompanied a Han Chinese who knew Russian, but unfortunately I didn't know where to hide for a while.
So Jia Qing said to the fake princess: "If my guess is right, she should have said that your identity is also very noble, we can't kill you, right?" β
Jia Qing saw that this princess was very elegant in her every move, and it was likely that she was also from a noble background. That's right, even if he wants to fool Da Chu, it is unlikely that Fyodor will use a civilian girl to impersonate, it will be too easy to expose.
The fake princess closed her eyes deadly, and when she heard Jia Qing speak, she realized that she was not dead. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the handsome young man opposite me had saved me, but I couldn't afford to be grateful at all. She knew that this was the person who had ordered her partner to be killed.
"Princess...... Let's call you Princess. The princess doesn't have to look at me with such hatred, the two countries are at war, and since you have done a good job, you should have been prepared to be found and killed.
However, my Da Chu is benevolent and virtuous, as long as the princess no longer intends to deceive, our Da Chu will not embarrass you too much. Otherwise, the princess should know what happens to female captives in the army! β
Jia Qing said with a smile.
"If I told you who I am, would you let me go?"
The False Princess's Path.
Jia Qing smiled in her heart, if she wasn't pretending, this Russian woman was really naΓ―ve. This made Jia Qing look forward to her identity a little more, generally only people who are used to being cared for by their elders will have such an innocent personality.
"I can't be the master of letting you go, but if you cooperate, I can guarantee that you will be able to return to our capital with dignity. Then your fate will depend on the outcome of your negotiations between Russia and our Great Chu. β
The fake princess was obviously not as ignorant as Jia Qing thought, she understood what Jia Qing meant, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "I, my father is Fyodor. Wikiford. Nikolov, my name is Ivan. Fyodor. Nikolov ......"
Jia Qing was stunned: "Your father is Fyodor?" β
Even Jia Qing knew that Fyodor was the Grand Duke of the East in Russia and the commander of the Cossack cavalry.
He actually used his own daughter as bait?
"Why are you pretending to be Princess Soraya, and what is your purpose?" Jia Qing continued to ask.
"I don't know ......"
Jia Qing frowned and said, "Miss Ivan, please understand, now it is you Russia who are not respecting promises and secretly plotting to sabotage the alliance. Today, our two countries are still at war. If I can't get what I want from you, you should know what will happen to you. β
"No, no, no, I didn't lie to you, I really don't know, I was forced by my father to pretend to be Sister Soraya to your Dachu and kiss, and I don't know what his purpose is. Everything along the way is in charge of Balshak, and I am at his disposal......"
Ivan explained nervously, waving his hand again and again, describing panic.
Jia Qing gave Zhao Donglai a look, and Zhao Donglai went down, and after a while, dragged back a corpse wearing the uniform of a Russian general, and said, "It is estimated that he was killed in the previous war." β
When Ivan saw the corpse of this man, he was immediately frightened, and he put his hands together and prayed for something.
Jia Qing kicked the corpse and frowned: "He must be the only one among them who knows, you find someone to interrogate all the captives, and you must not let go of any clues."
As for Miss Ivan, since she is Fyodor's daughter, she will take care of her and escort her back to the capital to wait for His Majesty's fate. β
After instructing these things, Jia Qing returned to the big tent.
After a while, Zhao Donglai and Wu Yu came in to report: "The results of the battle are counted, in this battle, a total of 1,649 enemies were destroyed, plus 324 people captured, they only have a total of 1,973 people, and there should be no escapees." β
Jia Qing nodded and said: "In this way, it is more than 1,000 people less than the 3,000 reported by the Ministry of Rites, but I hate that we were careless before, and we didn't notice it!" If it weren't for Princess Tana's chance to break down, if we really had to escort them all the way to the capital, the outcome would be really unpredictable!
By the way, what about Princess Tana? β
Zhao Donglai said: "Princess, she didn't listen to dissuasion and insisted on killing the enemy before, she was stabbed in the back, and she has already entered the military tent and asked a doctor to treat her injuries." β
Nodding his head and ignoring her, Jia Qing asked again: "How many casualties are there on our side?" β
Zhao Donglai's expression suddenly became sad, and said: "We took the opportunity and touched some of them in the dark, but it was soon discovered that we set fire to their military tents, and in this case, 882 brothers still died, of which 565 belonged to the Jinyi Army and 317 belonged to the Forbidden Army. More than 400 people were also injured......"
Jia Qing's heart shook slightly, the battle was only about an hour, and if he was seriously injured and could not be healed, the three thousand soldiers lost about one-third. Moreover, the number of dead and disabled is fully doubled, which shows the ferocity of the enemy!
This is still the case of their surprise attack, but it is conceivable that if they set up a position and do it with real knives and guns, they don't know what the result will be.
The combat effectiveness of the Cossacks should not be underestimated.
